Teams,
I know many of you have already begun preparing the final group assignment, which is why I am posting this announcement early. Once again, do not forget to support all of your work with external research! The final assignment is outlined below.
Group Case Analysis 2
· Complete a case analysis of Nintendo Case #22 in the case section of the textbook (e.g. Case Number 1).
A formal, in-depth case analysis requires you to utilize the entire strategic-management process. Assume your group is a consulting team asked by Nintendo to analyze its external/internal environment and make strategic recommendations. You will be required to make exhibits/matrices to support your analysis and recommendations. The case analysis must encompass 10–12 pages plus the exhibits/matrices, cover page, and reference page. The cover page must include the company name, your group name, and the date of submission. The matrices must not be part of the analysis body but exhibits.
The completed case must include:
· Executive summary;
· Existing vision, mission, objectives, and strategies;
· SWOT analysis;
· Porter's 5 Forces;
· Value Chain Analysis;
· Financial Ratio Analysis;
· Balance Score Card;
· Intellectual Assets: Human Capital, Social Capital, Technology;
· Organizational Design;
· A list of alternative strategies, giving advantages and disadvantages for each;
